| Description | Tatiana Maxwell said she was working as an intern at a Cheyenne law firm in 1982 when a young lawyer at the firm, Ed Murray, wrestled her to the office floor and ejaculated on her stomach.
Murray, now Wyoming’s secretary of state, denies the allegations. Murray is considering whether to run for governor and is widely viewed as one of the leading Republican candidates, should he decide to enter the race.
Maxwell detailed the alleged assault in a social media post earlier this week and confirmed the events in a Thursday phone interview with the Star-Tribune.
“This is not a comfortable thing to talk about,” Maxwell said. “It hasn't been a comfortable thing for 35 years, but it's the right thing to do.”
Murray issued a statement to the media Thursday stating that he was “shocked and appalled” to read Maxwell’s social media post. The statement said that Murray was an advocate for women.
“This baseless claim about an encounter from thirty-five years ago is unequivocally false,” Murray stated. “There is no basis to this falsehood whatsoever and it is deeply hurtful to me and to my family, as well as to everyone I serve.” |
